Abstract:
A laparoscopic surgery teaching program is ready to begin at the Gynecology Department of the Lozano Blesa University Hospital. This program has been approved by the Ethics Committee for Animal Research of the Zaragoza University and will use rats, female rabbits and sows. This project aims to follow a «a step by step» process, with progressive surgery complexity from the rat and rabbit models to more difficult surgery in sows. The present article describes how to perform total hysterectomy with double annexectomy using vaginal extraction of uterus, tubes and ovaries in the female rabbit through the laparoscopic approach.
